Pilgrim’s Bounty in World of Warcraft is similar to Thanksgiving in the United States. While it’s not as big an event as holidays like Hallow’s End or the Feast of Winter Veil, Pilgrim’s Bounty still offers fun activities. Players can enjoy things like a 10% boost to reputation gains, achievements to earn, new cooking recipes, and collectible transmogs.
Just three days after its release, Ghost of Yotei became a huge success for Sucker Punch, selling over 2 million copies.

Although Jujutsu Kaisen concluded in late 2024, it continues to be a top-selling manga, though it’s no longer at the very top.

Many incredible games have stood the test of time. While they might show a few signs of age, they remain just as fun and engaging today as when they first came out. In fact, some are even better now!

Ghost of Yotei, a follow-up to the popular 2020 game Ghost of Tsushima, came out in October. Players control Atsu, a mercenary on a journey across Edo-era Japan to avenge her family.

Although it’s not up for Game of the Year, Ghost of Yotei has received nominations for awards like Best Music and Best Performance. The developers, Sucker Punch, recently announced Patch 1.100, which will add a lot of new content, and the full patch notes are now available.
With great rewards up for grabs, most Pokémon Legends: Z-A players will likely participate in ranked battles.

However, a new Pokémon is starting to make waves in ranked battles: Pikachu.
Chanos, ever the cynic, couldn’t resist pointing out the irony. “Isn’t that when they should be buying more?” he quipped, probably while sipping a cup of tea and stroking an imaginary cat. 🐱 Because, you know, that’s what short sellers do. They sip tea. And stroke cats. And mock people for not buying things when they’re cheap. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
While Microsoft hasn’t made a big splash celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Xbox 360, they haven’t completely ignored it. While websites like TopMob published lists of popular games, Microsoft quietly marked the occasion with a stylish collaboration: new Xbox-themed Crocs.
